Jason Kelce Shocks Fans With Wild Beach Gesture at Eagles Autism Fundraiser

Philadelphia, PA – June 26, 2025


He’s no longer suiting up on Sundays, but one unforgettable figure from the Eagles’ golden era is proving that retirement hasn’t dimmed his passion—or his presence. While some fade quietly into post-football life, he’s doing the exact opposite, electrifying a beachfront crowd in a moment that instantly went viral.

At the fifth annual Team 62 at the Ocean Drive charity event, held to benefit the Eagles Autism Foundation, the former franchise cornerstone climbed atop an oversized beach chair, grinned at the crowd, and—without hesitation—ripped off his shorts to reveal a patriotic pair of underwear that left nothing to the imagination. The move stunned attendees and lit up social media in classic Philly fashion.

That fearless showman, of course, was Jason Kelce, the Eagles icon who’s become just as beloved for his off-field charisma as his Hall of Fame-caliber play. Known for his Super Bowl parade speech and undying connection to the city, Kelce turned what could’ve been a simple charity moment into a symbol of his ongoing love affair with Philadelphia.

Fan reactions were swift and passionate. One user on X wrote, “Doing this puts eyes on the cause. He’s good at marketing. Only the insecure cucks are bothered by this.” Another declared, “Jason is a national treasure that should be protected at all times.”

Even his choice of wardrobe didn’t go unnoticed. “Stars and Stripes or the MAB painter hat—I don’t know which is better!” one fan posted, while others simply marveled at how he keeps finding new ways to surprise and entertain the city he never truly left.

Not everyone was charmed—“If you haven’t suffered from Jason Kelce Fatigue before now, I don’t know how you do it,” one post read—but that’s Philly: honest, loud, and never indifferent to its heroes.

For all the shock value, the moment served its purpose: raising awareness and support for a cause Kelce has championed for years. And if it means baring a little more than usual for the right reason, he’s clearly all in.

The shorts may be gone, but the legacy is only growing.
